To require certain agencies in the executive branch of the Federal government to conduct a study on duplicative functions, and for other purposes.

This bill requires specified agencies in the executive branch of the federal government to conduct a study on duplicative functions.

Specifically, such agencies (which include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency) must

• identity functions that duplicate the functions of other specified agencies;
• calculate the annual cost of such duplicative functions; and
• analyze solutions for eliminating such duplicative functions, including identifying which agency is best suited to have sole responsibility for such functions.

Such agencies must jointly submit a consolidated report to Congress on the results.
